    Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

    Hello fellows, I just wanted to provide you with an update regarding the stocking densities of free range egg farms and ask for your assistance one last time. Hopefully, if all goes well, we will all have free-range eggs from happy hens on Australian supermarket shelves forever. Please add...

    Really nice photos Thaifowler! Gosh I really want a few pullets to keep my Phoenix company. Hi Gaichon, your stag is really beautiful. Does he have a name? Cheers, Gold Coaster

    Thai Game Fowl (Photos)

    Simpleman thank you for sharing those photos! I absolutely loved looking at them all especially the little ones. When I adopted Phoenix he was already a few months old but he was gorgeous and still is. Good luck with all the little ones and let us know how many roos and how many pullets you...

    Thai Game Fowl (Photos)

    She's beautiful, I bet her feathers glow in the sunlight! I think if Phoenix saw her it would be love at first sight. What's her name and how do they refer to her colouring? Is it simply Black Thai Game or is it more complex? Cheers, Gold Coaster

    Thai Game Fowl (Photos)

    Thanks Sumatrass. He's a bit larger now, as that photo was taken a few months back. His spurs are huge and his tail feathers are a tad longer. But he's a gorgeous specimen that some breeders in Australia will pay $200+ for. I don't know if that's the same overseas. I love this thread! It's so...

    Suprelorin implant (Virbac) stops hens with egg peritonitis laying anymore

    Tofupup, I agree with you wholeheartedly. It's sad though, that certain chicken breeds rely on this implant for a better quality life, due to them being created by geneticists who simply wanted to fill commercial interests and create breeds that have minimum feed intake to maximum productivity...

    Here is my lovely Blue Thai Stag that I rescued from a local animal shelter. He was dumped there at around 2 months of age, probably because he turned out to be a Roo. He is now 1 and half years old and we named him Phoenix. He is very affectionate and an exceptional guardian Roo. He chased away...

    Suprelorin implant (Virbac) stops hens with egg peritonitis laying anymore

    Hello Missypebble, 'You did mention about changes in personalities - did this happen to all of your hens? I've read that someone used to have a hen who used to be at the highest pecking order, then after the implant, she's at the lowest pecking order - did you see this happen with yours?'...

    Suprelorin implant (Virbac) stops hens with egg peritonitis laying anymore

    Hello Daisyflower and Tofupup. I'm sorry I didn't see your messages sooner and I hope I'm not too late to offer you some advice for your chicken Beryl, Daisyflower. I've been using the Suprelorin implant for quite a few years now and with various chooks for different problems. The Avian...

    Mystery Chicken

    Thanks MahMah1! Another Aussie, how lovely to meet you! Yes it was a surprise for me to learn that some animal shelters have chooks, goats and even pigs for adoption. The shelter I have nearby where I got some of my chooks from is the Animal Welfare League of QLD. It doesn't matter the breed...

    Mystery Chicken

    I have some experience with Suprelorin implants myself Tricoglossus. I used them to save some of my hens that suffered from egg peritonitis and contributed to a thread on BYC about the same topic. Many were unfamiliar with the implant and the pros and cons about it a few years back and that it...

    Mystery Chicken

    We love the little soul, even though he's quite cheeky. His breed the Blue Thai Stag, is primarily used for cock-fighting, which I detest by the way, so he has an aggressive nature (probably bred into him). I don't know for sure because the Animal Welfare League (where I adopted him from) won't...

    Mystery Chicken

    Thanks again to all those who offered me advice about Bluebell's gender and breed. A lot of time has passed since I last posted, but Red Jungle Fowl reminded me about this thread and to post a photo. Red Jungle Fowl you are spot on, I have identified Bluebell as a Blue Thai Stag which is indeed...

    Thank you Bantamlover! I'll keep you updated. Is there any other tell-tale signs of roos of this breed that I should keep an eye out for over the next few weeks? Cheers, Gold Coaster
